Chris's Reviews > Our Man in Havana

A satire on the intelligence community, in this case specifically the British service. Started out incredulously as a vacuum cleaner salesman living in Cuba is recruited by British intelligence. Although totally without any skills to be a spy, he agrees as a way to make money to support his teenage daughter in the life she aspires to. He is pressed to recruit people himself to assist in his mission. He begins to make up people, things & activities until it begins to have consequences. Very tongue in cheek; had a dip in the middle where it went from droll to silly but then boomeranged back to it's original tone to a satisfying conclusion.
